Thank you for your feedback
The /describe command allows you to upload an image and generate four possible prompts based on that image. Use the /describe command to explore new vocabulary and aesthetic movements.
- The describe feature generates prompt suggestions that are inspirational and suggestive. It cannot be used to recreate an uploaded image exactly.
- Describe works slightly differently between Discord and the website. Using the
/describecommend in Discord will generate full prompts, while the website will offer suggestions of words and phrases to help you build your own prompts. - "Describing" the same image again will provide different suggestions.
In Discord
Using the /describe Command
Use the /describe command wherever you use Midjourney Bot in Discord. You can provide an image to describe by entering the image's URL (select the link option; find more information about using image URLs in Discord here), or by selecting an image that's stored on your device (use the image option).
Once the suggestions have generated, click the corresponding numbered buttons to /imagine that prompt. You'll have a chance to edit the text before submitting it.
You can also use the 🔄 button to run the /describe command on the same image again, or the 🎉 Imagine all button to generate images with all four prompts at once (though you won't have the chance to edit them first).
An Example /describe in Discord
If you use the /describe command with the below image Midjourney Bot will suggest four prompts that may generate similar images:
1️⃣ drawing of a persian cat face in purple ballpoint pen on a white background, with purple fur, in the style of unknown artist.
2️⃣ A purple pencil drawing of a Persian cat, white background, in the style of John Beastman.
3️⃣ A purple pencil drawing of an adorable persian cat, with simple lines on a white background, featuring fine details and a beautiful composition in the style of a hyperrealistic work, with sharp edges and sharp focus.
4️⃣ A purple pencil drawing of an exotic shorthair cat, simple line art with a white background, fine lines and pastel colors create a soft and delicate atmosphere in this closeup portrait. The sketching style depicts the cat as cute and dreamy, with intricate details shown through detailed lines in a front view. The ink wash technique uses dark black tones with low saturation to create the style of the artist.
Legacy
/describe- By default, the Discord
/describegenerates prompts that will work best with Version 6. - If you set your default Midjourney Version to 5.0 in Discord,
/describewill generate shorter prompts that work better with older model versions.
On Web
From the Imagine Bar
Click the icon in the imagine bar to access image reference options on the website. If the image you'd like to describe doesn't appear already, you can upload it from this view. Once it's uploaded, hover over the image to reveal the icon, then click that to generate suggestions.
Instead of generating full prompt suggestions like /describe does in Discord, the website will give you a variety of words and phrases to play with. Clicking on one of the generated phrases will add it to the end of your current prompt. Click the Reroll button to generate new descriptions, and the Back button to go back to the image selection tool.
